Aapki salgirah ke' iss mubarak mauke' par

Composed the following for a birthday bash of a dear friend:

Aapki salgirah ke' iss mubarak mauke' par,
Mein aapko kya nazrana pesh karoon?
Yeh soch kar aaj kuch pareshaan sa hoon.

Aapki iss mehfil mein,
Naa jaane' kya kya tohfe' saje' hain,
Yeh dekh kar kuch hairan saa hoon.

Sochta hoon, ek tohfe' ke' saath saath,
Kyon naa aaj aapke' shaan mein kuch arz karoon?

Sach, zindadilon ke' iss riyasat ke',
Aap woh betaj badshah ho,
Dil mein kuch bair nahi,
Aur kai chehron par muskurahat ki khaas wajah ho.

Mubarak ho yeh salgirah mere dost,
Bane' raho saalon saal,
Zindadilon ke' woh betaj badshah mere' dost.

Yahi nazrana aaj lekar aaya hoon,
Aur isi se' aapki iss mehfil ko aur sajaane' aaya hoon.
